That gives me a good basis as to what mine will be worth with the body work done should I choose to sell it

Man do I love crewcab 2nd gens...

 

[SHughes]

And it had the elusive Cummings!!

Gawd that truck is beautiful. Whenever I see these 2nd gen crews from the side they remind me of a chevy crew.

 

[SHughes]

agreed

 

[SHughes]

I'll buy it this weekend...









































right after I win the lotto

That's probably the best looking 2nd gen conversion I've seen. Reasonably priced for what it is too, I was expecting to open it up to him wanting 30k.

Typically I DO NOT like these... However I truly like this one and I feel it has to be very very fairly priced.

Wonder if it's rusting underneath on the pieces they added to the cab for the conversion?

That's the very first place mine started rotting. Bayers must not have spot blasted the HAZ of their welds as the the body filler, primer/paint, undercoating didn't stick there. There wasn't any rust on the body in any visible area.

Wish this was closer.

Who's Bayer, that a guy who does these?

A company. I haven't seen any quality stretches yet. It looks good once covered up...

 

[SmokeShow]

That is one good looking ride!!

 

[Randall12v]

Sent him an email! Would love to go pick this up!!

Yep, mine was rusted underneath pretty bad. Sucks they can't coat that stuff like the factory can.

The ones I've seen were fiberglass rear doors, and were they weld on the rear section they rust out fast.

My rear doors are metal. How do I know this? Because the skins are separating and rotting underneath the body filler...
